I try not to care too much about hype.

It’s how I played The Last of Us. Enough accolades to fill a large Wikipedia page & I found it an average enough experience for the most part.

I wonder if the new director will get rid of things that people liked about Persona 3-5. (Or if 3-5 will even be allowed to reference)

Nothing cursed about this image.

I think the new team will probably retain a bit of Persona 3-5 mechanics or feel as a crutch but will disgard them by Persona 7 when they grow into their own style if the team is successful.

Major difference between persona 6 and persona 3 is that this time persona has a footing in mainstream audience and there's a large audience asking for just more of the hashino games, when persona 3 discarding so much of 1-2 went unnocticed because basically no one knew about those games.

I fully expect persona 6 to try as much to keep in line with the formula that made 5 big since it's Atlus's biggest cash cow and it's the safest play to make.

Maybe Persona 6 will be the Final Fantasy 8 to Persona 5's Final Fantasy 7?

[up]So stupid in and of itself because of its bad story and consumable magic gimmick and perceived stupid because it's not Persona 5-2? Good to know. lol

P Ersona 5-2 already exists in Persona 5 Scramble, and it even went Action RPG like how Persona 5 was going to in early concepts.

I think Persona 7 is what to what for, or Persona 6 Special or whatever. Since I dunno how much the new people would want to experiment with the formula in their first game, and how much they could have down to a science.

Wake me up at your own risk.

He does have Scrappy's personality, to be fair.

Well, Kanji had to be somebody, Yu is already Fred (Fred was the former trope namer for The Generic Guy and Yu, like most protagonists in Japanese media, is mostly a self-insert character), and Kanji does have the personality.

Also, who is Naoto?

So Kanji is what Scrappy could be if he was actually allowed to just beat the shit out of the ghosts right away then?

I'm ok with that.

Yeah, but the difference is, Kanji can splat him.

He punches out his own shadow (after it changes back in the games, and before it does so in the anime). Scrappy only wishes he could have a chance to do that.

Sometimes you forget that Yosuke is actually really divisive and some people hate his fucking guts...especially nowadays.

A lazy millennial who's good at what he does.

#59348: Jul 14th 2020 at 5:57:54 AM

Yeah.

And the thing is, he didn't have to be so divisive. He starts out great as some people said, and we have both Junpei and Ryoji for showing that Yosuke's character archetype (the best bud) can be done well.

The funny thing is, Yosuke does one thing that Junpei and Ryoji never do: compromise the group's mission.

Junpei runs off during the train fight and nearly gets killed (and later leaks info about S.E.E.S. to Chidori, but he didn't know she was a spy) and Ryuji's inability to keep his mouth shut almost gets the group caught a few times (and in the case of Makoto, flat out does get them caught).

Nobody ever finds out from Yosuke what they are doing. But that rarely matters when he's doing other things that piss the fandom off. It goes to show how badly thought out traits can totally consume a character.

I think you mean ryuji and that your sentence is worded backwards. Yosuke never compromised the mission while the other two did. Although being so gung-ho about killing namatame could be considered as similar, if not worse.

But that's part of what weird with yosuke, it's that he basically starts at the endpoint of junpei and ryuji : somewhat responsible, aware of his limitations and trying to be clear about the fact he's geniune in his intentions, but then his journey leads him to become dumber and dumber, almost as bad ryuji/junpei at their worst, only turn around and sprint back to his starting point towards the end. This character is done backwards on so many levels.

The thing is...Junpei isn't the best bud. He's a jealous jerk in one universe and a sexist pig in the other. Yosuke remains unfailingly a supporter of the MC from start to finish while Junpei takes over half the game to get his head out of his ass.

This is why you dump him and Yukari and start using Mitsuru and Akihiko who are better and cooler friends.
